There will be no shortage of pre- and post-game entertainment options for visitors to TD Place this summer and beyond.

With it’s location nestled between the Glebe and Old Ottawa South, grabbing a pint or a bite on RedBlacks, Fury FC or Ottawa 67’s game days shouldn’t require too much searching. There will be plenty of options for sports goers inside the TD Place gates, with restaurants set to open in a staggered fashion once the renovated stadium opens.

Granted, it’s not downtown and Bank St. doesn’t feature a pub or restaurant on every block, but what's within shouting distance of the park will cater to many different tastes.

Let’s start with what can be found immediately outside the TD Place gates.

Kitty-corner to the stadium is a delicious Ottawa institution. You might want to skip Kettleman’s Bagel Co. if you’re looking for a pint or a sit-down meal, but if you’re just looking to fuel up quickly before the game or need a snack after, you won’t find better bagels in the city.

That first block of Bank St. north of TD Place also features an Indian restaurant and pizza joint.

For a slightly more intimate dining experience, Rosie’s Southern Kitchen and Wine Bar another block north – in the spot formerly occupied by Annie and Clyde’s Southern BBQ – is a cozy spot to pop into for a meal or just a drink and some oysters.

Keep heading down Bank – or stop in at the Pizza Hut just south of Fifth Ave. – and you’ll find yourself in the middle of the Glebe. In just a block or two there’s Glebe Roast and Brew (coffee shop), Sushi Go and Von’s Bistro, another well-known spot in Ottawa with great food and, if you happen to spend the night in the area after a game, equally delicious breakfast.

The area of Bank between Fourth and Fifth Avenues is also home to the Arrow and Loon pub (featuring an excellent beer list) and the Fourth Ave. Wine Bar where you’ll find a great selection of small plates and cocktails.

Just want to find a comfy spot in a pub? Keep heading down Bank just north of Third Ave. to find the Royal Oak, pop into the Urban Pear on Second Ave. for a nice meal or check out the Farmteam Cookhouse on Bank at Clemow.

Finally, since you have already walked the length of Bank St. in the Glebe, and are undoubtedly still thirsty, end your trip through the neighbourhood by stopping for a locally made pint at the Clocktower.

With the excitement reaching a fever pitch over the opening of TD Place, don’t be surprised to see other venues pop up along and around Bank St. as the area becomes more of a "people place" and shopping and special events destination.
